National Destiny: I Submitted the Favorability System and Became an Entertainment Superstar

Just after graduating from university, Guan Miao picked up a stray kitten on the road. She initially wanted to send it for treatment, only to find out that it was a wandering system from a higher d...

74. Prelude to the Awards Ceremony

It seems like the first thing all parents say when they see their children whom they haven’t seen for a long time is: You’ve lost weight again, are you not eating well?

"Mom, I just rushed to a few scenes these past two days, so I look a little thinner. Actually, my scale has increased a little."

"Really?" Guan's mother looked at her suspiciously, obviously not believing her.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, I'll show you on the spot when we get back," Guan Miao said as he took Guan's mother's arm. "But there are so many people outside right now, so let's go back first."

Guan Yu, who had been silent the whole time, also spoke up. "Miao Miao is right. Let's go back to the hotel first. Once we get back to the hotel, won't Miao Miao be at your disposal?"

The group got on the car, and Guan Miao asked the two elders how many days they could stay and what their plans were.

"Your dad has taken a two-week leave this time, and we plan to take this opportunity to spend some time with you and go shopping in W City."

Guan Miao was a little surprised when he heard this. "Dad, you can actually take half a month's leave this time? Are you going to take all the rest of the holidays this year?"

Guan Yu, who was in the passenger seat, turned around and explained, "Not really. We just had a big breakthrough in our research a couple of days ago, so we can afford to hire so many this time."

"I see."

Seeing that Miaomiao was relieved and continued to hold his wife's hand and smile, he turned back with relief.

He originally wanted to ask for three days off this time, but when he went to ask Mr. Xu for approval, Mr. Xu learned about the situation and asked him to go back and pack his things first, and the vacation matter would be discussed later.

"Guan Yu, I heard from Chi Yi that this award is quite valuable. If Miaomiao can win it, it will be of great help to her career and ours."

Listening to what Mr. Xu said, Guan Yu suddenly had a bad feeling.

Is there going to be some shady deal?

If Miaomiao knew about this, she would definitely be unhappy, and might even feel that she doesn't deserve the award at all.

What should he do? What if Mr. Xu really said that? What should he say to reject Mr. Xu's kindness?

"...So, we decided to give you two more days off. If Guan Miao wins an award, you and your family can get together. If she doesn't win, she'll be in a much better mood with your parents around."

After hearing everything, Guan Yu looked up at Mr. Xu in surprise, "Mr. Xu, is this what you mean?"

"What else?"

Old Xu was also taken aback by his question, but he recovered in the next second, and his expression was not very good. "Guan Yu, we are not that crazy."

Faced with Mr. Xu's questioning, Guan Yu realized that he had misunderstood and stood there obediently listening to the scolding that lasted for ten minutes.

After returning to the hotel, Guan Miao first sent the two elders to their room to rest, "Mom and Dad, it's still early, you should rest first.

At 7 o'clock, Sister Deng Ling made an appointment at a restaurant to meet up with the rest of my team."

"Miaomiao," Guan's mother showed some hesitation on her face, "Miaomiao, your father and I won't go to your company's party.

We don't understand your work, and if you go, you'll have to distract yourself from taking care of us. Your dad and I will stay at the hotel. If we get hungry, we can order takeout. It will be fine."

When Guan Miao heard this, he said with a frown, "Mom and Dad, what are you talking about? You finally came here, and I let you two stay in a hotel and take yourselves out to play. What am I then?

And today we are just having a meal, so don’t think too much about it, Mom and Dad.”

After her repeated assurances, her parents finally agreed to go with her. "Then Mom and Dad, you guys hurry up and pack. I'll go get ready too."

"good."

Guan Miao returned to his room and was about to summon Deng Ling when he saw three familiar figures on the sofa.

"Sister Chi, Anjing and Yiyi, why are you here? Is Anjing's body completely healed?"

An Jing smiled and stood up, walking around in front of her. "I'm completely healed now. I was almost moldy after lying down for so many days."

"As long as you are healthy, everything is worth it."

After they finished speaking, Chi Yi said, "Tomorrow is also a big day, so of course we have to be with you."

"You guys," Guan Miao didn't know what to say for a moment, "it's actually not that important. You don't all need to come."

"How can that be possible?" Chi Yi objected immediately. "Since we are all a team, we should be with you at all times. Don't think about getting rid of us now."

Listening to Chi Yi's words, Guan Miao felt warm in his heart and smiled foolishly, "Okay, no matter what the result is, we will witness it together."

The next morning at ten o'clock, Guan Miao had brunch and started his busy day.

There were many people coming today, and the scene was full of mixed people. It would be troublesome to investigate if something happened. Deng Ling and Chi Yi discussed it one by one and decided to let Guan Miao get ready in the hotel before leaving.

Guan's mother and father couldn't help much in this regard, so they just watched Deng Ling give orders and saw a group of people busying around in the room.

"The two sets of clothes Hanamiki sent are in Xiaon's room. Xue'er and Chai Yue are pre-posting on Weibo. It's your turn to walk the red carpet at 3 o'clock. To avoid traffic jams, we'll leave at 2:30.

You're walking the red carpet with Xu Ruoming this time, so if you have any questions, just ask her directly; if the host asks any difficult questions, just play dumb or do what you can."

As soon as Deng Ling finished speaking, Chi Yi continued, "Li Lan sent me a message yesterday saying that she hopes you can tell me more about the upcoming release of 'The First Lesson'."

"Hmm?" Guan Miao became interested after hearing this. "Released in August? The college entrance examination craze has passed. Isn't Director Li afraid of losing all his money if he releases it now?"

"The college entrance exam wave is over, but school is about to start!" Deng Ling tapped her head. "How long have you been out of your student days? You've even forgotten the start of the school year?"

After she said that, Guan Miao remembered that, yes, school was about to start.

"Sure enough, continuous overtime work will cause memory loss!" After teasing Guan Miao, he continued to ask, "So, when is the specific release date for the movie?"

"Don't worry about the roadshow on August 23rd. Li Lan, Geng Le, and I are still discussing it. We'll see if the crew can just give us a day off, or if you can take two days off so they can start filming first."

"I think it's better to just take a holiday. Miaomiao is the absolute lead actress in The First Lesson, and Li Lan and Zheng Yuan have different personalities. The movie has been out for a month, and she only has ten days to promote it, which is too little. She still has to run non-stop.

In this situation, even if Geng Le agrees to take leave, the other crew members may not agree. You can't always use your financial sponsor to pressure them, right?

If there's any public outcry, how will we control it? I think we should just give the crew a long vacation and let Geng Le handle the post-production work first."

Listening to Deng Ling's words, Chi Yi also had a plan in mind, "What you said makes sense, Miaomiao's health and reputation are more important.

If it really doesn't work out, I'll go talk to Li Lan and have Miaomiao only run the important races at the beginning, and run the rest interspersed."

"That's fine too."

After they finished discussing, they remembered to ask the protagonist Guan Miao for her opinion, but they saw that she was happily chatting with Shuangshuang about lipstick colors and didn't care at all about what they had just said.

Chi Yi and Deng Ling: Sometimes I don’t know if it’s a good thing to find an artist who is carefree.
